things to do
doing a 1 hour river cruise along the seine at sunset was one of the highlights of the trip. we booked through get your guide and it was about £16 each, no set time slot so turn up whenever but it does get super busy. i definitely reccomend in the ev...
Seine River, Paris
this place called me broke in about 5 different languages lol. but in all seriousness it's really nice if you want to do some shopping or just look at the amazing interior (and there are also some highstreet shops nearby too like sephora, zara, h&...
Galeries Lafayette Haussmann
this is another one of my top reccomendations, something i stumbled across by accident but am so glad i did. if you watched the animated adaptation on netflix or have read the book, i urge you to go to this illumination, i didn't even know it existed...
The Little Prince exhibition- Atelier des Lumières
50 euro for 2 adults and it is so worth it. you can get there from the metro too which is good. they have the shop directly opposite with lots of merch, in the stadium tour you can get souvenniers, there's a zip line and a bar, honestly just so many ...
Stadium Tour Parc des Princes | Paris Saint-Germain

we didn't go into the louvre as we didn't know you had to prebook tickets (should've been obvious lol) but even just from the outside it was amazing to see! lots of tourists and locals there, great photo opportunities. a very nice atmosphere
Louvre
places to eat
apart from patisseries, bakeries, and hot tourists spots, it can be hard to know where to go in paris for somewhere that is affordable, good quality, and you have a bit of room to breathe. these are the main places we went to and would reccomend
i saw this cafe reccomendation on tiktok and instantly knew i had to book. they are famous for their brunch, 25 euro per person and you get two plates and 2 drinks. it's definitely worth the money, the size of the portions are huge so go with an appe...
LE CAFÉ BISTROT, Paris
probably the most affordable place for food and cocktails down by the seine and eiffel tower. it's packed with locals too so you know it's good if they like it. definitely get their charcuterie board and aperol spritz!! also they have a photobooth fo...
Bonnotte Club
we were lucky enough to have a seat on the top with the eiffel tower right next to us! they do 5 plates for 48 euro on specific plates but they are all very tasty! cocktails are great too, the chocolate mousse for dessert was nice but it's bathed in ...
Francette
this cafe wasn't the one we went to but it's in a lovely string of cafes which are near the louvre and metro. full of life from locals and tourists, friendly staff, really yummy food too! definitely reccomend
CAFE SAINT HONORE, Paris - 2025 Reviews & Information
places to stay, transport, safety etc
NAVIGO is the easiest way to get about the city, it works on trains, tubes and buses. you can get this on your phone and top it up/pay for tickets digitally or buy a physical card and top that up too
Île-de-France Mobilités
when you check in you'll probably have to pay tourist tax which depending where you go can be expensive! we were there for 3 nights and paid 50 euro tourist tax, and then a lot of hotels charge a 100 euro deposit in case of any damages to the room. w...
THE REMIX HOTEL
I got a big set of these from amazon for about £10 and it was such a relief! they come in multiple sizes and you attach one end to the zip and one end to the buckle. it's a little fiddly to get open and close back up again but it does ease your mind ...
Zipper Locks
We kept air tags in our suitcases and also in our hand luggage/bags we took out on trips with us. just in case anything got stolen or went missing or we got seperated, we knew where each other were. again on flights this is great to do, as if you hav...
AirTag
this is a good tip if you are travelling alone/are vulnerable. we didn't end up getting one of these locks but did push heavy suitcases/items against the door which would make a loud noise should anyone attempt to break in
